Oracle7 gets June "Byte Best" FYI - June 1998 Byte mag "we wring out four enterprise level RDBMSes". Oracle 7 7.3 (didn't provide Byte with 8.0) wins out over IBM's DB2 Universal Database 5.0, Sybase's ASE 11.5 and Microsoft's SQL Server Enterprise 6.5. Informix chose not to participate. See the article .... p100.

If you sell a product for $100 (or whatever) you sold it for yesterday, don't you lose margin? May I should have said contribution... Getting right to the point, keep an eye on how much the licenses have to be sold for in order to maintain growth numbers. For example, selling at 10% less on average in order to maintain growth by 18%. This lends to increased revenue short term but you are burning up your base for the future. All companies in this sector are guilty of that in the past with huge enterprise wide licensing. syborg
